Why Marriage Principles Matter!

Marriage principles guide your marriage. They are more than just tips or random advice. Marriage principles direct behaviors and thought processes. When a couple struggles with their marriage, principles can guide them out of the problems and on to a path of love and connection.

Dr. Gottman, the leading marriage researcher, in 1999 wrote a book called The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work. It is an excellent and highly recommended book. The blog posts above explore some of those principles and explore others based on the research of various other marriage experts.

When you have a set of principles you and your partner can agree on, it is a good idea to print them out and frame them, hanging them on a wall each partner will see every day.
